This long-established brewery has been brewing sake for more than 300 years since the Edo period, with 12 generations of brewers in the Nii-juku area of Takahata-machi, a mountainous region in Yamagata Prefecture with the Ou Mountains in the background. During the Edo period, the brewery served as the official liquor store of the Yonezawa-Uesugi clan.

The brand name has two meanings: 'sake that conveys gratitude' and 'congratulatory and auspicious sake', and the brewery carefully produces sake in the spirit of 'Japanese brewing quality sake' to deliver 'refreshing, fresh, delicious sake with a perfect triple combination of aroma, taste and sharpness'.
The company has also been a pioneer in the cultivation of the raw material sake rice in cooperation with farmers since the 1980s.

The 'Super Spicy Junmai' is a junmai sake with a well-balanced umami with a subtly assertive, clean and crisp aftertaste that is easy to match with everyday dishes and perfect as a mid-meal sake.
In the local area, where Yonezawa beef is one of Japan's top three cuts of beef, it is the sake of choice at yakiniku restaurants as a sake that goes well with meat dishes.
